I'm looking forward to this ride, it was a real Blast last year.
Great trails through the woods....&
Please keep the grass track section in Adam and Jock, please.......

Seconded. That grass track was a hoot, especially with the lips on the exits.

Thirded. It was fun out the back, when I cut the track just after the gate and avoided the woods section so as to avoid getting stranded halfway around the loop ;D

Yes it is.
I was out there on Sunday helping with some marking out and the countryside is looking great.

Just back from Cooka and had a great time. Didn't get many pics as I was having too much fun riding but here is some for those of you who couldn't make it.

The weather and lush countryside made for fantastic riding conditions

Great event, once again. Great course, great organisation, lots of great people.

Big thanks to everyone involved in making it happen.

I only did one lap on the KDX - was having too much fun on the KX125s.

Vinduro Penrite Team had a great time at Cookardinia. A well organised event with a great mix of flat out top gear (130km/h?) sections and tight first and second gear singles. This makes the third year for me at Cooka, and it just keeps getting better!
I'll start work on the video tomorrow...

Cookadinia 2015

Great week-end.

Easy drive on Saturday

BBQ , few lagers and lots of laughs with the guys on Saturday afternoon

Great ride on Sunday , the course was different to last year , basically run in reverse and the course was really good , fast sections , fantastic grass track section and great technical section through the woods.
The weather was absolutely perfect and some of the views as you rode through the course were absolutely outstanding

Great weekend and many thanks to the club for a great weekend

Ummmm....
A major malfunction of the carbon interface to my GoPro means I have exactly zero footage.
The halfwit who owns the GoPro set it to single-shot, rather than video mode. I am super disapointed. I was really looking forward to showing off the fast sections where I was WOT in top gear and looking for a sixth!

There were parts where I was pinned in top gear, and there was still hundreds of metres before the straight ran out... Perhaps a 125 MXer wasn't the ideal choice?

8-)
The TS tops out at around 130km/h or so. I guess the 125 MXer would make 90 or 100?
In any event, it's adrenalin pumping speeds.

 I could have used an extra gear on the CR as it started to run out of legs on the open stuff but the 510 still had some in reserve. ;)

Great ride, and much thanks to the land owner and workers !

I never got out of third gear :)

Post by: G54B on September 21, 2015, 08:42:39 pm
I had the IT tapped out in 6th gear a couple of times, that's somewhere in the vicinity of 140km/h (as confirmed by a mate, who has a working speedo, riding alongside down a fenceline track at home). Doing that sort of speed right next to a fence is pucker-inducing, to say the least ;D

Brilliant weekend, it was more than worth the 10hr round trip in the old farm ute.

Not sure on my speed , broke the Speedo cable on the third lap on the yzee , she was like lighting  ;D

I saw quite a few people out taking pics of bikes during the day - So where are all the photo's? Huh

My mate had my camera got some good shots but I don't have a computer at the moment to email them to someone to load up

My speedo cable came unscrewed and got dragged for a while, thanks to Tony and a couple of others pointing it out to me out there it was saved from self destruction in time.

Was you riding backwards , is this why it unscrew and why I felt like I was going so fast  ;D

(Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...)

David Boddy, (Mark's brother) has saved the day for Vinduro Penrite Team. He has graciously allowed us to share his helmetcam footage of the 2015 Cookardinia vinduro.
I think his helmet mount is one I will copy! It's great to see the throttle hand in action and the front wheel getting some much needed air.
Enjoy!
